This is one that I didn't quite get my head wrapped around until recently. Although they have similar functionality, there are small but significant differences between a Facebook fan page and a Facebook group page.First, let's look at how they're similar:Both types of pages allow you, and other people, to express your affinity for something. Be it dogs, planes, a person, celebrity etc. Both allow you to setup forums and have discussions Both have a wall for posts and allow sharing pictures and videos Both allow you to message members in bulk Both allow you to create events that are shared on the member's profiles Both can be promoted with Facebook ads Both types of pages send updates to the member's timelines That's about where the similarities end. Let's look more closely at what a group does that a fan page doesn't do:You have to be a member of Facebook to access group pages Create a more personal experience since they are limited to 5000 members, just like your personal profile. Everything you post to the group is personally tied to your profile. Group pages are not indexed by the search engines You can't create a custom url for your group page. A fan page on...more

In Part 3 of our interview, we hear some insights into the Greek ‘reality' found in Greece yesterday and today. SK – Dr. Tsitsiringos, I am intrigued about your clarity on scientific and business matters and say that your Lingering Effect principle has become a net classic. Can you explain then an article from a Greek local newspaper in 2003 which is rather derogatory concerning you? Dr. T – Certainly. First of all that article was written by two reporters who were later shown to have been paid to write obvious slander. Unfortunately, we are living in a country where cronyism, large-scale corruption and moral decline are tainting the country's fundamentals, seen in the economy, in education, and business. It is a well known fact that in Greece it does not cost more than €500 for an irresponsible so-called journalist to slander and libel anyone, serving his masters and his pocket. The article you mention was met with ridicule then. In fact, that article, or any such ‘trial by newspaper' type of article has absolutely nothing has to do with me in any way. However it does bring up the old issue of "Greece and its glory days" where its own people, by envy,...more
